well, happily the car passed on its own, with flying colors. So I got the best of everything, no more rusty pre-silencer, no more disgusting fumes, and the tone is deeper. The scan didnt come up they way I wanted it,so Ill tell you the results : HC LIMIT: 2.00, tested: 0.95, CO limit: 30.0, tested 15.4, NOx limit: 4.00, tested 0.25. And there was no decrease in performance!

Yeah, I'm happy to hear about it since that is the exhaust setup I have in mind for my car, except that I want it in 3" pipe. Thanks for sharing info.

That is good that you passed.



I wouldn't go with 3" unless you are planning on making gobbs of power. You want the exhaust pulse to flow at high velocity, causing low pressure behind the pulse. This causes almost a vacuum that sucks the next exhaust pulse out of the rotor housing/cylinder.

3" would be compleatly useless, it would probably hinder performance if anything. Guys are making twice the horsepower and dont have 3".

He's talking about a non-turbo car.

Thumbs up

yeah a 3 inch exhaust is to much for a non turbo, if you had a turbo and were running more than 10 lbs. of boost then you would want a 3 inch exhaust, i used to have a 94 mitsubishi eclips GSX,it was the **** until i was stolen and wrapped around a tree, i had a 3 inch exhaust, bov, turbo timer, and a couple other nice,(NICE) goodies under the hood. only a turbo needs a 3 inch exhaust.ill shut up now i can talk about cars forever,piece!

I want to put 3" piping only for downpipe to the high flow cat because I'm planning to go for a street port on my next project while rebuilding the engine. I thought free flowing the exhaust right now wouldn't hurt anyway. Why would it be a problem to suck the exhaust out, technically speaking? Would it be because with peripheral exhaust, the intake mixture could be suck in the meantime?
